Meanwhile, however; how hard would it be for the supt. to investigate for himself the records of the students who supposedly graduated that didn't have the proper grades/credits?
If he did you wouldn't trust any results of his review no matter what he reported. Get real.

ETA: Besides, what if the discrepancies occurred with the superintendent's blessing and/or knowledge. Would you still think he should do the review himself???

It's apparent you've never had any experience in auditing any records or work performed by other people.

I have. Rule #1 is to never allow someone to audit their own work or any work they are responsible for.

You need to get real. The DOE says kids graduated that didn't do the work. The response of the Supt. is what? We need another audit!!!!!

Whether I trust Taylor or not is not the point, the point is a serious accusation was made about some students, and it demands a serious response from the Supt.

Now I realize, Supt. Taylor can not respond to the entire audit right now, but he should be able to say after a week or so whether or not kids did graduate who should not have.

If he can't do that, shame on him.

Again you have no clue about my background because my business gets audited every year and I have semi annual reviews. If after a review the CPA I employs brings something to my attention, I check into it. I don't wait for a full audit. As CEO it's my duty to find out what is going on, and correct it as needed immediately.

That's common sense, but it's also common sense for the CEO to check into SPECIFIC CHARGES to find out what happened and to correct it immediately when necessary.

So Taylor shouldn't have a unit or Section dedicated to auditing and/or QC/QA because of Rule #1, since he is ultimately responsible for the system as a whole-which would include such a unit or Section-based on your experience auditing?

I've done a wee bit of auditing and fraud investigations myself. Tell me more...
